AMS Verification Engineer (RFIC Engineering)

About this role

SpaceX seeks an AMS Verification Engineer to develop mixed-signal verification flows and testbenches for next-generation RFICs and RF-SoCs powering Starlink satellites and ground infrastructure. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to simulate advanced analog/mixed-mode IP blocks, create behavioral models, and support silicon validation from design through ATE testing.

What you'll do

• Develop analog-on-top and digital-on-top verification flows for full-chip RFIC and RF-SoC simulations
• Create testbenches and simulation flows for critical interfaces between RFICs and SoCs
• Partner with designers to optimize speed and accuracy of mixed-signal IP simulations (PLLs, DACs, ADCs)
• Develop behavioral models in Verilog-A/AMS for RF, analog, and mixed-mode circuit blocks
• Collaborate with ATE test engineering to develop and prototype test plans
• Execute electromagnetic and IR simulations

What they're looking for

• AMS simulation tools and flows
• System-Verilog and UVM
• Verilog-A/AMS behavioral modeling
• Analog circuit fundamentals (LDOs, bandgaps, DACs, ADCs, RF amplifiers, PLLs, oscillators)
• Python programming
• Digital circuit design and RTL/gate-level netlists
• Annotated gate-level simulation
• EM/IR simulation

Benefits

• Medical, vision, and dental coverage
• 401(k) retirement plan with company match potential
• Long-term stock incentives and ESPP discount
• 3 weeks paid vacation and 10+ paid holidays annually
• Paid parental leave and disability insurance
• Company shuttle service from Seattle locations to Redmond office
